I think that we just found ourselves a Mega-X counter. Even if it has to switch in, slack off means that it can just heal the damage off. Nice one. We found a counter which unfortunately cannot fit in teams now mostly due to unability to use Stealth Rock. Two counters, Quagsire and Hippowdon, are rarely used.

Anyway :

Mega Charizard : B+ >>> A

Nidoking : Unranked >>> B-

Comparable to Mega Camerupt, but has lower power and bulk but higher speed and better coverage moves.
